Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 9
Trials Fusion leans harder on execution: Frame-tight balance and throttle inputs
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 0
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 5
Trials Fusion leans harder on optimization: Optimal lines and trick scoring are learnable
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
